I'm interested in Cornyn. I think he'll make a good candidate some day and maybe sooner if he were not a Texan.
So, which is it? Did he say that Howard should stay out of our business as was earlier reported by someone? Or did he say what you said, that Australia is our biggest Ally and that Howard has a right to an opinion on a possible future US President?
I hope your post is right as I was concerned after the earlier post ... it just didn't sound like something he would say.
My post was right. Cornyn defended Howard. It was the Dem, natch, who thought Howard should shut up.
Cornyn (one of my Senators) said he prefers Howard to stay out of our politics and we'll stay out of theirs, but he went on to say something favorable to the point Howard was making about Iraq.
The one who was most supportive of Howard saying what he did was Duncan Hunter.

I am a Texan and a Cornyn fan....would I post that he said that about John Howard if it wasn't true?
